Huan Li; Qinghui Hou; Ren Mu; Yating Wang; Yating Yang – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Although research on team performance-prove goal orientation (TPPGO) has flourished, there remains a scarcity of studies investigating its impact on individual performance. Drawing upon transactional stress theory, our study aims to explore the dual nature of the influence exerted by TPPGO on employee creative performance. Employing a multi-level…

Leslie Michelle Bahena Olivares; Ramin Rostampour; Allyson F. Hadwin – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Task understanding is theorized as a critical aspect of effective learning, but its role in self-regulated learning and overall academic performance has been understudied. Research to date indicates that students with adequate task understanding perform well. However, these studies have not demonstrated what practices are needed for developing…

Cassidy L. Wilkes; Madelyn M. Gamble; Guizella A. Rocabado – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Chemistry is often daunting for college students, contributing to high attrition rates in STEM majors. This study explored students' perceptions of the challenges in studying chemistry, including task effort and emotional costs. We examined how these perceptions, along with goal approaches, impact academic performance and retention in general…

Kim, Jong-Baeg; Moon, Kyoung-Suk; Park, Soowon – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2021
This study assessed the combined effects of students' achievement goal orientations (performance-approach goal and mastery-approach goal) and contextual factors (goal structures and task difficulty) on their performance. Researchers first asked 313 junior students about their achievement goal orientations and then randomly assigned them to one of…

Dong, Xiaoxiao; Liu, Yan; Lu, Hui Jing – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
The storage of information in external tools (e.g., notebook, cellphone) has become increasingly common. Some researchers have defined this behavior as cognitive offloading, which is a type of learning strategy. Studies have indicated that as age increases, children become increasingly capable of calibrating their learning strategies according to…

Tingting Wang; Juan Zheng; Susanne P. Lajoie – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
Previous studies have confirmed the pivotal roles of student engagement in predicting learning achievements; however, only a few emphasized the patterns of different engagement dimensions within individuals (i.e., co-occurrences of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement). Thus, this study identifies engagement profiles and explores their…

Jum'ah, Laith – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Epistemic beliefs, epistemic cognitions, and self-regulation processes have a significant role in students' learning. Through this study, I investigated the role of mechanical engineering students' epistemic beliefs and epistemic cognitions involved in self-regulation processes while working on tasks with different difficulty levels. In this…

Bottoms, Gene – State Education Standard, 2023
Most states claim academic rigor and career readiness as goals for all their students. But as school systems continue tracking students into higher or lower levels of academic coursework and into career and technical courses that lack rigorous, real-world assignments, they reflect an apparent underlying belief that their students' abilities are…

Stoa, Rosalyn; Chu, Tsz Lun; Gurung, Regan A. R. – Teaching of Psychology, 2022
Identifying impediments to learning can help both instructors and students. In this study students (N = 222) from across the nation listed concepts from research methods they found the most challenging--"potholes" or impediments to learning, and also rated the difficulty of various concepts from the class. We also measured student…

DeBarge, Erica – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students obtaining graduate and postgraduate degrees experience a high level of demands and stressors, often engaging in avoidant behavior in response. As these advanced studies are known for their rigor, the identification of strategies to support student successes and decrease student avoidant behavior is imperative. One such strategy identified…

Mengyuan Chen; Lan Wu; Baoping Li; Yang Liu – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Students in the 21st century are expected to possess the ability to solve ill-defined complex problems (ICPs). One challenge to understanding students' ability to solve ICPs is the lack of methods for measuring noncognitive and metacognitive behaviors and relating those behaviors to cognitive behaviors with the goal of investigating differences in…
